In  grateful  recognition  of  his  untiring  efforts  in  behalf  of  the 
cause  of  Christian  Education  in  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
United  States,  this  publication  is  dedicated  to 

Reverend  James  Bunyan  Shearer,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  LL.  D. 
of  Davidson,  N.  C. 


Rev.  John  Bunyan  Shearer,  D.  D.,  LL.  D. 

Dr.  Shearer  was  bom  in  1832  in  Appommattox  Count}-,  Vir- 
ginia. He  was  prepared  for  college  at  Union  Academy,  gradu- 
ated with  degree  of  A.  B.  at  Hampden  Sidney  College  in  1851. 
He  later  took  the  A.  M.  degree  at  his  Alma  Mater  and  also  at  the 
University  of  Virginia.  He  graduated  from  Union  Theological 
Seminary  in  1858.  From  1858  to  1862  he  was  pastor  of  Chapel 
Hill  Church,  N.  C.  He  founded  Cluster  Springs  High  School,  was 
President  of  Stewart  College — now  Southwestern  Presbyterian 
University — from  1870  to  1879.  Then  Professor  of  History  and 
English  Literature  until  1882,  when  the  Theological  Department 
was  organized  and  he  became  professor  of  Biblical  Instruction. 
In  1888  he  was  made  President  of  Davidson  College  and  Pro- 
fessor of  Biblical  Instruction,  which  position  he  held  until  1902, 
when  he  was  made  Vice  President  and  Professor  of  Biblical 
Literature  in  the  same  institution. 

Dr.  Shearer  placed  the  Bible  in  the  rank  of  earnest  studies, 
wrote  a  number  of  text  books  for  Bible  study,  helped  to  organize 
a  number  of  educational  institutions  in  our  church,  gave  liberally 
of  his  time  and  energy  and  means  to  keep  other  institutions  alive, 
and  possibly  did  more  than  any  other  man  to  hold  the  church  to 
true  ideals  and  earnest  purpose  concerning  Church  and  Christian 
Education.

On  the  following  pages  will  he  found  illustrations  and  state- 
ments of  special  features,  historical  facts,  needs  and  financial 
condition  of  all  the  educational  institutions  that  are  recognized 
by  official    action,    of    any   kind,    by  Sessions,    Presbyteries  and 

Synods. 

The  specific  relationship  sustained  by  each  institution  to 
the  Presbyterian  Church  is  revealed  in  the  paragraph  headed 
"Government." 

There  are  other  institutions  which  are  not  connected  with 
the  Presbyterian  Church  by  any  legal  ties,  and  are  not  recognized 
by  the  official  act  of  any  Church  court,  but  their  history  and  their 
associations  with  the  life  and  work  of  our  Church  are  close  and  help- 
ful. 

The  Ad  Interim  Committee  appointed  by  the  last  General  As- 
sembly will  recommend  that  the  Assembly  to  meet  in  Kansas 
City  clearly  define  what  relationship  an  institution  must  sustain 
to  the  Church  to  be  called  Presbyterian.  It  is  earnestly  hoped 
that  when  this  is  done,  some  of  these  institutions  may  be  brought 
into  more  vital  relationship  with  the  Presbyteries  and  Synods. 

The  various  institutions  are  listed  on  the  following  pages 
as  follows:  I.  Theological  Seminaries,  II.  Colleges,  III.  Semi- 
naries, Junior  Colleges,  Academies,  etc.,  and,  IV.  Orphanages. 
Each  division  is   arranged   alphabetically,  according  to  Synods. 

A  full  index  of  Synods  and  Institutions  may  be  found  on 
pages  204,  205  and  206.

The  Educational  Situation  in  our  Church. 


It  is  confidently  believed  that  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  United  States  is  entering  upon  a  new  and  more  hopeful 
era  of  her  educational  history. 

In  1867,  the  General  Assembly  sent  down  to  the  Presbyteries 
the  following  memorial :  Whereas  the  Presbyterian  Church  has  at 
all  times  been  distinguished  for  the  high  degree  of  mental  culture  of 
its  ministers  and  people,  an  honorable  preced- 
A  Duty  ence  which  it  will  be    commendable  for  us  to 

Recognized.  try  still  to  maintain;  therefore,      Resolved,    1, 

That  in  the  judgment  of  this  Assembly  it  comes 
clearly  within  the  province  of  the  organized  Church  of  God  to 
look  after  the  mental,  as  well  as  the  moral,  culture  of  the  people 
of  God,  with  the  view  to  their  highest  attainment  in  active,  vital 
piety.  2,  That  in  view  of  this  fact,  this  Assembly  deems  it  of  the 
utmost  importance  that  the  Church  elevate  its  standard  of  learn- 
ing, and  widen  its  domain  in  prosecuting  the  educational  interests 
of  the  people  over  whom  it  exerts  a  controlling  influence.  3,  That 
this  Assembly  request  the  Presbyteries  throughout  the  bounds 
of  the  Church  to  take  this  subject  into  consideration  at  their 
next  regular  meetings,  and  report  their  action  to  the  next  General 
Assembly. 

In  the  early  years  of  her  history  our  Church  could  accomplish 
little.    The  civil  war  had  swept  away  her  resources,  laid  waste  her 

private  and  Church  property,  and  in  many 
Difficulties  instances  closed  her  institutions  of  learning,  be- 

Overcome.  cause  trustees,  professors  and  students  had  gone 

to  the  front  in  defense  of  their  country.  At 
the  close  of  this  period  she  determined  to  arise  and  build  and 
many  schools,  academies  and  colleges  were  revived  or  erected. 
Some  of  these  have  ceased  to  be.  Others  have  had  a  hard 
struggle  for  a  bare  existence.  Others  have  made  steady  progress 
and  have  brought  untold  blessings  to  the  Church  and  the  South- 
land. 

Until  very  recently  there  had  been  no  well  defined  plans — 
no  real  unitv  of  action.     Each  institution  has  been  concerned

ment of  its  life  and  influence  lias  ofttimes  short-

of  a  System.  In  1899,  the  General  Assembly  took  up  in 
earnest  the  consideration  of  Church  and 
Christian  education.  A  Permanent  Committee  was  erected  with 
Rev.  J.  B.  Shearer,  D.  D.,  as  chairman. 

This    General    Assembly    made    the    following    declaration: 
"While  expressing  its  appreciation  of  the  great  work  done  for  the 
cause  of  education  by  the  schools,  colleges  and  universities  sup- 
ported and  controlled   by    civil    authorities,    by 
A  Policy  philanthropists,  and  by  other  religious  denomi- 

Determined.  nations,    and  urging  our  people  to  do  all  that 

is  expedient  to  throw  about  these  institutions  a 
wholesome  Christian  influence,  the  General  Assembly  does  not 
consider  it  safe  for  any  Church  to  turn  over  to  any  other  parties, 
either  religious  or  civil,  the  entire  education  of  her  sons  and 
daughters.  The  history  and  traditions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church 
in  this  and  other  countries  amply  prove  that  denominational 
fidelity  in  this  and  other  matters  has  not  only  secured  the  best 
results  for  our  Church,  but  has  accomplished  great  good  by  its 
influence  on  all  others.  The  General  Assembly  hails  with  delight 
the  unmistakable  signs  of  are-awakening,  not  in  our  Church  only, 
but  in  all  the  evangelical  Churches,  to  the  great  importance  of 
Christian  education.  We  also  record  with  satisfaction  the  in- 
creasing prosperity,  success,  and  usefulness  of  our  higher  insti- 
tutions of  learning,  male  and  female,  under  direct  Church  control 
and  denominational  influence.  "We  also  hail  the  increasing  num- 
ber  of  high  schools,  academies,  grammar  schools,  and  mission 
schools,  which  have  more  or  less  of  direct  Church  control.  There- 
fore, in  view  of  the  great  importance  and  promise  of  earnest  effort 
for  Church  and  Christian  education,  wc  do  recommend  that  all 
our  Synods,  Presbyteries  and  Church  sessions  undertake  what- 
ever may  be  practicable  in  furtherance  of  this  cause,  and  we 
believe  that  very  much  may  be  done  along  denominational  lines 
without  antagonizing  any  good  work  done  by  others." 

The  Assembly  in  1907  established  an  Executive  Committee  of 
Schools  and  Colleges  with  headquarters  at  Atlanta,  Georgia,  and 


8  Our  Presbyterian  Educational  Institutions. 

assigned  to  it  these  duties:     "(1)  To  make  a  thorough  study  of 
present  conditions  and  movements  in  our  educa- 
Comprehensive     tional  work,  and  a  similar  study  of  the  condi- 
Program.  tions  and  movements  in  educational  work     in 

general,  and  put  the  results  of  their  investiga- 
tions in  such  form  as  will  make  them  practically  available  for 
the  information  of  our  people.  (2)  To  endeavor,  with  pru- 
dence, and  by  correspondence  with  those  actually  entrusted 
with  the  educational  work  of  our  Church,  to  create  and  secure 
common  assent  to  true  educational  standards.  (3)  To  use  their 
endeavors  to  pave  the  way  for  the  unifying  of  our  educational 
work  by  a  proper  correlation  of  secondary  and  higher  education. 
(4)  To  encourage  the  planting  of  schools  at  strategic  points  within 
our  bounds.  (5)  To  create  a  literature  on  Christian  education  for 
our  Church,  defining  Christian  education;  showing  the  needs  for, 
and  the  fruits  of,  such  education;  and  giving  such  information  as, 
in  their  judgment,  will  tend  to  advance  the  interest  of  this  great 
cause.  (6)  To  use  all  of  the  endeavors  that  Christian  wisdom 
and  prudence  may  devise  for  keeping  our  institutions  distinctly 
Christian.  (7)  To  devise  measures  for  building  up  an  intelligent 
and  liberal  clientele  for  our  denominational  education,  who  will 
have  its  interests  specially  at  heart ;  and  to  secure  a  large  collection 
annually  for  this  cause,  arranging  to  have  the  cause  presented  by 
all  of  our  pastors  to  their  respective  churches." 

Little  was  accomplished  by  this  Committee  on  account  of 
their  failure  to  secure  a  secretary.  In  1908,  arrangements  were 
made  to  use  part  of  the  time  of  one  of  the  secretaries  of  one  of  the 
other  Executive  Committees.  Information  con- 
Early  Efforts.  cerning  the  educational  work  of  the  Church  was 
carefully  gathered  and  published,  and  a  Student 
Loan  Fund  was  suggested  to  the  Assembly  by  the  Committee. 
Rev.  Walter  L.  Lingle,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  F.  H.  Gaines,  D.  D., 
rendered  most  efficient  service  at  this  time.  In  1909,  Rev.  William 
E.  Boggs,  D.  D.,  was  made  secretary,  and  with  great  energy  and 
zeal  successfully  launched  the  Loan  Fimd,  from  which  any  boy 
or  girl,  of  approved  character  and  aim  in  life,  may  secure  a  loan 
of  one-hundred  dollars  a  year  while  taking  the  four  vears'  course

in  one  of  our  Presbyterian  Colleges.     Dr.  Boggs,  continued  his 
labors  until  July,  1912. 

The  Assembly  called  upon  the  churches  for  two  collections 
each  year  for  Schools  and  Colleges-  one  for  the  treasury  of  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Schools  and  Colleges,  and  the  other  for 

the  Synodical  treasury  for  the  Schools  and  Col- 
The  Financial  leges  of  the  various  Synods.  At  the  time  these 
Plan.  offerings    were    ordered   the  unrest   because  of 

the  inadequate  plan  of  finances  in  use  by  the 
Church  had  reached  a  crisis,  and  the  new  method  was  under 
consideration.  "The  weekly  offering"  for  all  benevolences  was 
subsequently  adopted  before  these  annual  offerings  had  found 
a  place  in  the  churches,  and  in  the  hearts  of  our  people. 

In  1910,  the  Executive  Committee  of  Schools  and  Colleges 
was  consolidated  with  The  Executive  Committee  of  Ministerial 
Education    and    Relief,    located    at    Louisville, 
Agencies  Kentucky,  and  the  title  was    changed  to  The 

Consolidated.         Executive   Committee  of  Christian  Educa- 
tion and  Ministerial  Relief.    This  Commit- 
tee is  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Ken- 
tucky. 

During  this  period  of  awakening  in  the  General  Assembly 
several  of  the  Synods  had  been  giving  careful  thought  to  educa- 
tional matters.     The  Synods  of  Texas  and  South  Carolina  about 

the  same  time  began  to  take  an  inventory  of 
Awakening  in  the  educational  assets  and  needs,  and  instead 
the  Synods.  of  listening  to  the  loudest  cry  that  came  from 

any  institution  within  their  bounds,  carefully 
planned  state  wide  educational  systems.  Both  these  Synods 
have  recently  made  successful  canvasses  for  much  needed  funds 
for  all  of  their  institutions  and  are  planning  much  larger  and 
better  things  for  the  future.  North  Carolina,  Missouri,  Missis- 
sippi and  Kentucky  are  making  plans  on  somewhat  similar 
lines  and  other  Synods  and  many  Presbyteries  are  giving  more 
time  and  prayerful  consideration  to  this  important  department 
of  the  Church's  work. 

Last  May,  at  Atlanta,  Georgia,  the  first  large  and  representa- 
tive bodv  of  our  educators  met  to  confer  together  and  plan  for 


10  Our  Presbyterian  Educational  Institutions. 

greater  things  in  Christian  education.     The  General  Assembly, 
which  convened  immediately  after  the  adjourn- 
General  Ad-  ment  of  this    Conference,    recognizing  the  far- 

vance  Planned,  reaching  importance  of  this  movement,  ap- 
pointed an  Ad  Interim  Committee,  "to  con- 
sider all  matters  relating  to  the  discovery,  definition,  co-ordina- 
tion and  allied  questions  of  the  schools  and  colleges  connected 
with  our  Church,"  and  directed  that  "this  Committee  call  the 
Christian  educators  of  these  schools  and  colleges  into  conference 
with  themselves  to  discuss  matters  coming  under  the  purview  of 
this  Committee,  and  report  its  findings,  with  or  without  recom- 
mendations, to  the  General  Assembly  of  1914."  The  As- 
sembly urged  "all  the  Synods  and  Presbyteries  to  give  earnest 
attention  to  the  work  of  Christian  Education,  using  every 
endeavor  to  arouse  our  people  to  a  deeper  appreciation  and 
a  more  liberal  support  of  our  educational  institutions,"  and  fur- 
ther recommended,  "that  the  next  General  Assembly  be  an 
'Education  Assembly'  and  the  first  Friday  and  Saturday  evenings 
be  given  over  to  popular  meetings  in  behalf  of  our  schools,  colleges 
and  seminaries." 

A  careful  study  of  the  educational  situation  in  the  United 
States  inspires  one  with  greater  hope  for  the  Christian  schools 
and  colleges.  Educators  everywhere  are  discussing  the  im- 
possibility of  developing  character  without  the 
Duty  to  Fulfill,  impelling  force  of  religion.  The  state  uni- 
versities are  crowded  and  many  of  them  are 
already  beginning  to  urge  the  importance  of  preparation  in  a 
small  college  before  the  students  enter  upon  professional  or  scien- 
tific training.  All  thoughtful  Christian  statesmen  are  agreed 
that  education  and  religion  must  go  hand-in-hand.  This  thought 
is  voiced  by  Dr.  W.  H.  P.  Fauncc  when  he  says,  "Here,  then,  is 
our  national  peril — that  the  supremely  important  task  of  our 
generation  will  fall  between  Church  and  State  and  be  ignored  by 
both.  The  Church  may  say :  'Education  is  no  longer  in  our  hands' ; 
the  State  may  say:  'On  all  religious  matters  we  are  silent.'  Thus 
millions  may  grow  up — are  actually  growing  up  in  America  today — 
without  any  genuinely  religious  training.  It  is  time,  therefore, 
for  Church  and  school  to  co-operate,  as  army  and  navy  co-operate, 
in  defense  of  our  common  country." 


Our  Presbyterian  Educational  Institutions.  11 

The  inspiring  history  of  the  past — from  John  Calvin  and 
John  Knox  to  the  men  and  women  who  today  are  toiling  unselfishly 
and  with  untiring  zeal  for  our  boys  and  girls  and  for  the  Great 

Head  of  the  Church — calls  us  to  go  forward. 
An  Imperative  The  needs  of  this  present  age,  with  its  agnosti- 
Call .  cism  and  materialism ,  summon  us  to  a  clear  duty. 

The  demand  of  the  Church  for  a  large  increase 
in  the  number  of  efficient  leaders  warns  us  not  to  be  weary  in  this 
fundamental  work.  The  immense  possibilities  wrapped  up  in 
the  lives  of  the  youth  of  the  land  impel  the  Church  to  follow  them 
as  they  leave  the  parental  roof  and  to  see  that  with  all  their  getting 
they  get  the  true  wisdom  and  understanding. 

The  Church  of  all  institutions  in  the  world  must  be  honorable 
and  honest.  She  should  not  claim  an  academic  efficiency  which  her 
institutions  do  not  have.  Her  standards  should  be  true  and  faith- 
fully adhered  to.  Her  sons  and  daughters  de- 
Honesty  of  serve  the  best.  The  Bible  must  have  its  right-

must  be  thoroughly  Christian,  and  so  warm  and 
evangelical  that  high  and  heavenly  aim  may  be  generated  and

With  the  sympathy  and  prayers  and  help  of  Presbyterians — 
and  with  broad  and  fraternal  comity  and  co-operation  with  other 

denominations  and  with  the  State — the  Presby-

duty   to  her  youth,  her  country  and  her  Lord.

Presbyterian  Theological  Seminary  of  Kentucky 
Louisville,  Kentucky. 


For  Men. 


Founded  1853. 


Government.— By  twenty-four   trustees   elected  by  Synods 
of  Kentucky,  U.  S.,  and  U.  S.  A.,  and  Missouri,  IT.  S. 


THE     Presbyterian    Theological    Seminary    of     Kentucky, 
located  at  Louisville   Ky.,  successor  of  Danville  Seminary, 
founded   1853,  and  Louisville,  founded  1893,  which  were 
consolidated  in    1901,  is  controlled  by  the  Synods  of  Kentucky 
and  Missouri  (U.  S.),  and  Kentucky  (U.  S.  A.),  which  elect  the 
twenty-four   trustees,    by    whom    the 
professors   are   appointed,    subject    to 
pPfc^~  approval  of  the  Synods  and  the  two 

General  Assemblies.

Government. — By  fifteen   trustees  elected  by  the  Synods  of 
South    Carolina,    Georgia,    Alabama,    and    Florida. 


COLUMBIA  Theological  Seminar}  is  marked  by  the  fol- 
lowing special  features: 
1.  The  combination  of  the  scholarly  and  the  practical 
in  a  very  high  degree.  Upon  the  basis  of  the  usual  curriculum 
and  discipline,  there  is  given  also  an  unusual  amount  of  attention 
to  Practical  Theology,  including  a  year 
of  study  in  a  special  course  in  Sunday 
School  work,  and  also  a  year's  study 
in  the  field  of  missions. 

2.  A  library  of  unexcelled  value  in 
our  Church  furnishes  the  opportunity 
for  thorough  investigations  and  parallel 
reading,  which  is  a  part  of  our  method 
of  teaching  and  of  studying. 

3.  Practical  work  for  every  student 
who  desires,  and,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
every  student  in  the  institution  is  at 
the  present  time  engaged  in  some  form 
of  religious  work  either  in  the  city  or 
the  community  or  the  adjacent  coun- 
trv.

4.  This  Seminary  located  in  the  heart  of  the  Church  rep- 
resents fully  the  history,  traditions,  genius  and  spirit  of  our  own 
particular  type  of  Presbyterianism. 

Our  special  need  is  more  Scholarship  Funds.

Clarksville,  Tennessee 

For  Men.  Founded  1875. 


Government.-    By  eight  directors  elected  by  the  Synods  of 
Alabama,    Louisiana,    Mississippi    and    Tennessee. 


SOUTHWESTERN  Presbyterian  University  is  unique  in 
having  a  College  (organized  in  1875)  and  a  Divinity  School 
(1885).      Standard    entrance    requirements.      Bachelor    of 

Arts  or  of  Science  in  four  years.     Master  of  Arts  in  five.     Com- 

bined  course  for  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Divinity  in 
five  years.  Study  of  the  Bible  re- 
quired. Presbyterian  Board  of  Di- 
rectors. Faculty  of  experienced 
Christian  teachers.  Students  nearly 
all  church  members.  Character  is 
put  before  numbers.  Small  dormi- 
tories with  resident  Christian  matrons. 
Athletics  encouraged,  but  subordinated 
to  scholarship.  Necessary  expenses, 
$250  to  $350.  One  in  every  8  or  9 
Southern  Presbyterian  ministers  for 
1909-1912  was  a  student  at  South- 
western, about  200  in  all.  35  to  50 
candidates  for  the  ministry  enrolled 
every    year.      The    charge    for    their 

tuition,  which  is  given  free,  would  be  $1,750  to  $2,500  a  year; 

the  cost  of  educating  them,  paid  from  the  University  income, 

is  $7,000  to  $10,000  a  year. 

Our  special  needs  are  a  modern  dormitory,  more  professors, 
better  salaries,  an  improved  equipment;  therefore,  a  larger  en- 
dowment.    Plans  have  been  made  to  this  end.

Siillman  Institute 
Tuscaloosa,  Alabama 

For  Colored  Men.     Pounded  1873. 


Government. — By  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions. 


S  TILLMAN  Institute  is  distinguished  from  all  other  theo- 
logical schools  in  the  country. 
1.  It  is  truly  a  Home  Missionary  contribution  of  our 
Southern  Presbyterian  Church  to  the  salvation  and  uplift  of  the 
Negro  race.  Students  of  approved  character  are  received  from 
all  denominations  and  treated  alike. 
Our  work  is  to  train  this  young  and 
growing  race  in  the  great  and  plain 
doctrines  of  grace,  and  to  give  them 
a  usable  knowledge  of  the  English 
Bible. 

2.  Simple  industries  are  provided, 
such  as  gardening,  carpentry,  dairy- 
ing and  poultry  raising,  which  afford 
a  wise  vehicle  for  education  and  a 
sensible  means  of  exercise  and  recrea- 
tion to  the  students.  Credit  is  given 
them  for  all  labor  performed,  thus 
enabling  any  student  to  pay  his  own 
way  to  an  education  and  to  become 
self-reliant  and  enterprising. 

Of  our  graduates,  48  are  serving  colored  Presbyterian 
Churches,  many  of  whom  are  also  teaching  parochial  schools. 
As  many  more  are  enlisted  in  the  ministry  of  other  churches. 

In  order  to  accommodate  all  who  may  apply,  Stillman  In- 
stitute needs  a  new  dormitory  to  be  built  of  brick  and  to  cost 
not  less  than  $10,000. 

An  endowment  for  Stillman  Institute  is  becoming  an  impera- 
tive need.  For  thirty-five  years  the  barest  necessities  of  this 
benevolent  missionary  agency  have  been  supplied  by  the  gifts 
of  churches  and  faithful  friends.  The  professors,  all  Southern 
white  men,  have  been  poorly  paid,  and  only  their  devotion  to  the 
end  in  view  has  enabled  the  management  to  keep  such  capable 
men  in  charge.

Alabama  Presbyterian  College  for  Men. 
Anniston,  Alabama 

For  Mex.  Pounded  L905. 


Government. — By    nine    trustees    elected    by    the 
Synod  of  Alabama. 


ALABAMA  Presbyterian  College  for  Men  is  located  at  An- 
niston, under  the  shadow  of  Blue  Mountain,  which  rises 
1,750  feet  above  sea  level.    The  College  campus  of  eleven 
acres  is  located  on  Tyler  Hill.    The  main  building  of  the  College 
is  a  massive  structure  three  stories  high,  and  has  every  modern 
convenience    and    appliance    for   first 
class  college  work.     The  laboratory  is 
pronounced  by  experts  as  excellent  in 
point  of  equipment. 

The  founding  of  the  College  was  the 
outgrowth  of  a  real  need  in  the  Synod 
of  Alabama,  and  particularly  this  sec- 
tion which  has  had  such  an  immense 
growth  in  population  during  recent 
years,  the  single  city  of  Birmingham 
having  increased  more  than  two  hun- 
dred and  forty-four  per  cent  in  a  single 
decade.  Within  a  little  more  than  a 
hundred  miles  of  Anniston  there  are 
more  than  one  million  white  people. 
The  College  has  just  completed  eight  years  of  work,  and 
the  wisdom  of  the  Synod  in  founding  and  fostering  the  institution 
is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  during  the  past  year  the  attendance 
increased  twenty  per  cent.  The  Synod  has  awakened  to  the  fact 
that  the  Church  which  makes  no  provision  for  the  education  of  her 
sons  must  ultimately  lose  her  leadership. 

The  Bible  is  a  text  book  and  is  taught  not  merely  as  a  "dis- 
cipline of  culture  and  a  correct  standard  of  the  imagination, " 
but  as  "the  Word  of  God,  the  only  infallible  rule  of  faith  and 
practice. " 

The  College  believes  in  sane  athletics,  and  no  student  is  al- 
lowed to  participate  in  an  intercollegiate  contest  who  fails  to  make 
a  daily  grade  of  seventy-five  per  cent.

Government. — By    nine    trustees    elected    by    the 
Synod  of  Alabama. 


ALABAMA  Synodical  College  for  Women  is  a  successor  to 
Isbell  College  and  is  located  in  the  city  of  Talladega,  a 
most  delightful  and  cultured  town  of  6,000  inhabitants,  and 
situated  among  the  mountains  700  feet  above  sea  level.  In  1902. 
the  Board  of  Directors,  elected  by  the  Synod  of  Alabama,  changed 
the  name  from  Isbell  College  to  that 
of  the  Alabama  Synodical  College  for 
Women.  At  the  same  time  they 
elected  as  President  of  the  College, 
Rev.  Thomas  Peyton  Walton,  who 
still  holds  that  position.  In  1911  a 
beautiful  new  site  of  nine  acres,  on 
which  was  a  splendid  three  story 
brick  building,  erected  by  Governor 
Parsons  at  a  cost  of  $30,000,  was  do- 
nated to  the  Synod  and  a  large  building 
was  erected  upon  this  new  site,  ade- 
quate to  the  needs  of  a  first  class 
school  for  young  women.  The  facultv 
is  composed  of  experienced  Christian 
teachers  and  the  College  is  known  for  the  thoroughness  of  the 
work  done  in  the  class  room.  Character  building  is  one  of  the  chief 
objects  of  the  school  and  every  influence  brought  to  bear  upon 
the  pupils  looks  toward  that  end.  Character  is  placed  above 
numbers.  Number  of  boarding  pupils  constantly  increasing. 
Daughters  of  ministers  are  given  free  tuition.  One  of  the  finest 
assets  of  the  College  is  its  noble  alumnae  scattered  over  Ala- 
bama and  other  states.  Our  special  needs  are  an  immediate 
equipment  and  larger  grounds.  We  have  a  financial  agent  now  in 
the  field  who  is  trying  to  secure  money  for  this  purpose.

Arkansas  College 

Batesville,  Arkansas 

Co-Educational.         Founded  1872. 


Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  the 
Synod  of  Arkansas. 


ARKANSAS  College  "aims  to  excel  in  thorough  work  rather 
than  showy  pretensions."  While  attended  by  some  of 
the  wealthiest,  it  remembers  with  thankful  pride  that  no 
one  has  ever  been  turned  away  for  lack  of  means  to  pay  tuition, 
if  possessed  of  brains  enough  to  take  an  education  and  a  will  to 
work.  In  connection  with  a  standard- 
grade,  secular  course,  leading  to  grad- 
uation, it  trains  in  the  facts  of  the 
Bible  and  proofs  of  its  inspiration, 
not  only  because  it  contains  a  litera- 
ture that  has  shaped  history  more 
than  any  and  possibly  more  than  all 
others  combined,  but  it  builds  faith, 
strengthens  character  and  stores  the 
mind  with  material  for  Christian  serv- 
ice. And  this  supplies  the  moral 
ballast,  which,  conjoined  with  the 
study  of  Civil  Government,  makes  the 
powerful,  the  harmless  and,  therefore, 
useful  and  really  successful  CITIZEN. 
Our  special  needs  are  a  new  dormitory  for  boys,  the  present 
building  having  recently  overflowed;  a  larger  endowment  that  the 
faculty  may  be  increased  and  the  courses  of  instruction  multiplied 
with  a  view  to  having  a  wider  range  of  attractions  to  offer  students. 
It  should  be  equipped  as  well  as  any  non-Christian  school  so  that 
our  youth  may  be  drawn  more  generally  into  the  atmosphere  that 
makes  most  for  faith  and  righteousness.

Palmer  College 
DeFuniak  Springs,  Florida 

Co-Educational.         Founded  1907. 


Government. — By    twenty-one    trustees,    fourteen    elected    by 
Board  and  seven  by  the  Presbvterv  of  Florida. 


PALMER  College,  the  \oungest  of  our  Presbyterian  institu- 
tions, was  founded  in  1907,    and  named  in  honor  of    the 
late  honored    and  beloved  Benjamin  M.  Palmer,  D.  D., 
LL.  D.,    of   New   Orleans. 

Succeeding  the  Florida  State  Normal  College  it  came  into 
possession  of  all  of  the  property  ac- 
quired by  that  institution.  Since  its 
reorganization  under  Presbyterian  ow- 
nership and  control  a  large  athletic 
field  has  been  purchased,  one  dormi- 
tory of  brick  erected,  all  the  old 
buildings  refurnished,  and  many  sub- 
stantial improvements  made  upon  the 
property.  This  has  been  done  by  a 
comparatively  small  group,  and  rep- 
resents sacrifices  on  the  part  of  its 
iounders. 

Fathered  by  Presbyterians  of  Scotch 
descent  it  boasts  its  ancestry  as  a 
guarantee  of  its  distinctly  Christian 
character,  yet  it  seeks  not  to  narrow  its  mission  and  influence  in 
behalf  of  Christian  education  by  being  sectarian.  The  object  of 
its  founders  was  a  definite  one — namely,  to  make  Palmer  College 
in  the  best  sense  a  Christian  school,  to  serve  all  the  people  without 
interfering  with  denominational  preferences.  Study  of  the 
Bible  is  required  of  all,  and  the  faculty  must  be  Christians.  Its 
location  in  DeFuniak  Springs  makes  an  almost  ideal  environ- 
ment— no  saloons  by  city  charter,,  a  community  of  churches,  the 
seat  of  the  Florida  Chautauqua;  the  people  have  high  social,  moral 
and  intellectual  standards.  The  site  marks  the  highest  point  in 
the  State  and  is  beautiful  for  situation. 

Our  immediate  needs  are  $20,000  to  pay  our  indebtedness, 
$50,000  for  additional  buildings  and  equipment,  and  $100,000 
for  productive  endowment.

Agnes  Scott  College 
Decatur,  Georgia 

For  Women.  Founded  1889. 


Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected    by    Board — Charter 
requires  they  shall  be  members  of  Presbyterian  Church,  U.  S. 


THE  purpose  which  has  prevailed  at  Agnes    Scott  since  its 
foundation     has   been   to   offer  the   very   best   educational 
advantages  under  positive  Christian  influences — the  training 
and  furnishing  of  the  mind  in  a  modern,  well-equipped  college, 
and  at  the  same  time  the  formation  and  development  of  Christian 
character    and    ideals.       Aloni,r    with 
these  ends,  it  is  constantly  sought  to 
cultivate  true  womanliness,  a  woman- 
liness which   combines  strength   with 
w«^  gentleness  and  refinement.     It  is  thus 

W  the  aim  of  the  College  to  send  out  edu- 

cated Christian  women  to  be  a  power 
in  blessing  the  world  and  glorifying 
God. 

The  College  was  founded  by  Pres- 
byterians, and  hence  its  moral  stand- 
ards and  religious  life  conform  as 
nearly  as  possible  to  those  which  ob- 
tain in  that  Church.  Its  ideals  are — 
the  supreme  end  the  Glory  of  God; 
the  Bible  a  text-book;  Christian  teachers;  all  the  influences  posi- 
tively Christian;   a  high  standard  strictly  maintained. 

The  College  offers  only  the  B.  A.  degree.  There  are,  however, 
optional  courses  leading  to  this  degree,  thus  giving  the  opportunity 
for  each  student  to  elect  a  course  most  in  accord  with  her  special 
talent  and  plans.

Sayre  College 
Lexington,   Kentucky 

For  Women.  Founded  1854. 


Government. — By  a  self-perpetuating  Board  of  fifteen  trustees. 
The   majority  must  be   members   of   Southern   Presby- 
terian Church.  The  Mayor  of  Lexington  and  the 
Circuit  Judge  are  ex-officio  members. 
Synod    of    Kentucky    annually 
appoints  Visiting  Committee. 


SAYRE  College  has  an  enviable  and  interesting  history. 
The  charter  was  written  in  1854  by  one  of  our  most  dis- 
tinguished Kentuckians,  Hon.  John  C.  Breckenridge,  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  States  and  Secretary  of  War  of  the  Con- 
federate States. 

Matthew  Vassar  said  his  attention 
having  been  called  to  this  institution 
was  one  of  the  influences  that  led  him 
to  the  founding  of  Vassar  College. 

Sayre  College  is  one  of  the  few  edu- 
cational institutions  in  the  South  that 
did  not  close  its  doors  from  1860-1865. 


Rev.  J.  M.   Spencer,  D.D. 
President 


Today  the  school  combines  the 
prestige  of  age  with  modern  equip- 
ment. New  dormitory,  new  furniture, 
beautiful  trees  and  flowers,  and  out- 
door sports  are  among  the  material 
advantages.  College  Entrance  and 
Junior  College  courses,  Music,  Art, 
and  Physical  Culture,  Expression,  also 
Domestic  Science  and  Domestic  Art  provided  for. 

A  faculty  selected  t  with  regard  to  Christian  influence  and 
character  as  well  as  to  thorough  scholarship  and  experience. 

Small  classes  with  individual  instruction  and  personal  interest, 
and  attention  from  teacher  to  student,  among  our  strong  points. 
In  short,  a  Christian  Home  School.  Our  motto:  "Culture  Con- 
secrated to  Service . "

For  Women.  Founded  18(52. 


Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  East  Mississippi 
Presbytery. 


CHICKASAW  Female  College  has  been  the  greatest  home 
missionary  East  Mississippi  has  ever  had — a  very  large 
part  of  the  spread  of  Presbyterianism  having  been  due  to 
the  influence  it  has  exerted  in  all  directions,  in  the  sending  out 
of  strong  women  impressed  with  the  teachings  of  our  beloved 
Church  to  exert  their  influence  in  helping  to  build  it  up,  and 
in  the  earnest  efforts  to  spread  that  influence  by  the  preaching 
of  the  Gospel  by  ones  who  have  served  the  terms  as  President  and 
godly  ministers  who  have  at  different  times  been  a  part  of  its 
faculty.  God  has  abundantly  blessed  its  work  and  made  it  to  be 
an  incalculable  blessing  to  our  Church.  Looking  into  its  future, 
we  feel  that  it  is  to  be  a  still  greater  blessing,  for  the  outlook  is  a 
bright  one  in  every  way.

Government. — By  eleven  trustees,  nine  elected  by  the  Synod 
of  Mississippi  and  two  by  the  Presbytery  of  Memphis.

wife  being  a  mother  to  the  girls. 
Much  attention  is  paid  to  the  develop- 
ment of  the  religious  character,  the 
moral  nature,  and  the  social  graces. 
The  Bible  is  a  text  book.  The  courses 
oj  study  lead  to  English,  Scientific  and 
Classical  diplomas.  The  college  is 
noted  for  the  very  highest  advantages 
in  music,  art,  expression,  and  domestic  science.  High  rank  has 
been  attained  among  the  best  institutions  of  learning.  Graduates 
are  admitted  into  the  junior  classes  of  our  State  University,  and 
are  occupying  positions  as  teachers  in  our  best  colleges  and  high 
schools.  The  expenses  are  exceedingly  moderate.  Worthy  girls

Synodical  College 
Fulton,  Missouri 

For  Women.  Founded  1874. 


63 


Government. — By  fifteen  trustees  elected  by 
the  Synod  of  Missouri. 


SYNODICAL  College  is  a  Junior  College,  offering  courses 
of  study  which  are  parallel  with  those  given  in  the  first  two 
years  of  Class  A  colleges  and  universities,  together  with  an 
academy  course  which  is  equivalent  to  the  standard  high  school 
curriculum. 

There  are  some  features  which  go 
to  give  the  life  and  work  individuality, 
keeping  it  a  distinctively  woman's 
college.  Believing  that  an  education 
should  be  a  preparation  for  life,  an 
endeavor  is  made  to  meet  the  needs  of 
sane  young  womanhood.  It  is  neither 
a  convent  nor  a  reform  school  in 
its  mode  of  discipline.  A  feature  is 
made  of  student  government  as  a 
means  to  develop  character  and  self- 
control. 

Taking  for  ideals  good  work,  good 
health,  and  happiness,  every  effort  is 
made  to  realize  them.  Stress  is  laid 
upon  Personal  and  Social  Hygiene,  Household  Chemistry, 
Dietetics,  Child  Study,  Physiology,  together  with  Domestic 
Science  and  Art.  Much  attention  is  given  to  systematic  exercise 
and  to  the  preparation  of  menus  for  the  college  tables,  both  being 
necessary  for  good  health.  The  atmosphere  is  that  of  a  large 
family,  thereby  insuring  a  happy  life. 

Synodical  College  has  just  completed  a  new  dormitory, 
modern  in  every  respect,  which  doubles  the  capacity  of  the  in- 
stitution. This  enables  the  college  to  enter  a  larger  sphere  of 
usefulness. 

Our  particular  need  is  for  scholarships  whereby  Presby- 
terian girls  of  ability  and  promise,  who  have  but  slender  purses, 
may  be  trained  for  lives  of  usefulness  and  service.

Westminster  College 
Fulton,  Missouri 


For  Men. 


Founded  1849. 


Government. 


By   twenty-four  trustees  elected  by  Synods  of 
Missouri".  U.  S.,  and  U.  S.  A. 


WESTMINSTER  College  was  founded  in  1849,  and  owned 
by  the  Southern  Synod  of  Missouri  from  its  foundation 
until  1901.  It  has  since  that  time  been  equally  and 
jointly  under  the  control  of  the  Presbyterian  Synods  of  Missouri, 
U.  S.,  andU.  S.  A. 

With  four  handsome  modern  build- 
ings, all  erected  in  the  last  thirteen 
years;  a  campus,  thought  to  be  the 
most  beautiful  college  campus  in 
the  State ;  a  fine  athletic  field ;  a  strong 
faculty  of  eleven  men;  possibly  the 
best  college  laboratories  in  Missouri ; 
Westminster  offers  splendid  advan- 
tages to  young  men  seeking  an  educa- 
tion. The  entire  history  of  West- 
minster has  been  a  work  of  promoting 
the  highest  ideals  of  scholarship  and 
citizenship  for  Church  and  State;  its 
object  has  been  to  teach  the  things 
that  make  for  more  than  physical  and 
mental  accomplishment,  the  things  that  exalt  character,  make 
life  sacred,  and  put  men  in  harmony  with  the  Bible  standard  of 
conduct.  From  Westminster's  walls  have  gone  forth  one  hundred 
and  fifteen  ministers,  twelve  foreign  missionaries,  and  a  great  num- 
ber of  earnest  Christian  men  into  every  profession  and  walk  of 
life. 

The  most  pressing  need  of  the  college  is  an  additional  endow- 
ment of  8150,000.00.  Those  who  wish  to  make  such  disposition 
of  their  money  as  will  accomplish  the  most  good  for  all  time  can 
make  no  better  investment  than  to  put  it  into  Westminster's 
Endowment  Fund.

Davidson  College 
Davidson,   North  Carolina 

For  Men.  Founded  1837. 

Government. — By   fifty-eight   trustees   elected   by   Presbyteries 

of  North  Carolina,  Georgia,  Florida,  and  part  of  South 

Carolina,  and  by  the  Alumni  Association. 


DAVIDSON   College,  for  men  only,  was  founded  in   1837 
and  is  now  in  its  seventy-seventh  year. 

It  was  never  more  vigorous,  nor  better  equipped  for  its 

work.    For  a  number  of  years  its  student  body  has  numbered  from 

330  to  350  and  fills  the  institution  to  its  capacity  from  the  stand- 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^        point  of  teachers,  dormitory  space  and 

class  room  accommodation. 

Pew  of  the  students  are  not  church 

members — 19   such    this   year   out   of 

^^  «k*  ^35.    A  fine,  manly  set  of  young  men. 

'^H  Faculty      of      fourteen      university 

i  ji|-  trained    men    of    wide    experience    as 

teachers,   and  every  one  a  Christian 

fl  gentleman   of  fine   influence. 

^^    At  The     standard     of     scholarship     is 

^^gjj^^^^H  high  and  to 

degree,  for  Davidson's  diploma  stands 
^^^^*^^^^^^^^'  thorough    work.      Fourteen    units 

are  required  for  entrance  and  only  two 
units  of  condition  allowed. 
Over  one-third  of  all  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the  South- 
ern Presbyterian  Church  now  in  college  are  on  Davidson's  campus, 
and  this  has  been  the  record  for  years. 

Davidson's  desire  is  not  so  much  to  be  a  bigger,  as  it  is  to  be 
a  better  college.  Doing  the  one  thing  of  undergraduate  college 
work,  with  no  instructors  teaching  even  the  freshmen,  our  wish 
is  to  so  equip,  man,  and  endow  the  college  that  it  shall  do  the  most 
efficient  work  possible  for  the  young  men  of  the  South. 

No  man  or  woman  can  better  or  more  lastingly  invest  funds 
to  develop  young  life  and  the  Church  than  to  add  to  the  equipment 
or  endowment  of  Davidson  College. 

Davidson  needs  an  endowmenl  fund  raised  to  $500,000;  anew 
gymnasium  building,  a  Y.  M.  C.  A.  hall,  additional  laboratory 
equipment  and  space,  and  an  administration  building.

For  Women.  Founded  1896. 


Government. — By  thirty-six  trustees  elected  by  the  Presbyteries 
of  Fayetteville,   Orange  and  Wilmington. 


THE   Southern   Presbyterian   College  and   Conservatory   of 
Music  is  located  in  the  quiet  of  the  country,  where  the 
pupils  have  the  advantage  of  pure  air,  plenty  of  room  for 
exercise  and  are  away  from  the  nervous  distraction  of  a  city ;  the 
charges  are  exceptionally  low  when  you  consider  the  quality  of  the 
work   done;   an   opportunity  is  given 
for  young  women  to  assist  themselves 
by  doing  certain  work  in  the  Institu- 
tion; it  has  a  very  carefully  planned 
and   systematically  carried  out  study 
of  the  Bible,  Missions,  and  all  the  ac- 
tivities   of    the    Church.      Of    course, 
it  goes  without  saying  that  we  have  a 
faculty  that  is  fully  capable  of    doing 
this  work. 

As  to  our  needs,  they  are  just  the 
need  that  is  common  to  all  oxir  girls' 
colleges — an  endowment.      This  single

Oklahoma  Presbyterian  College  for  Girls 

Durant,  Oklahoma 

For  Girls.  Founded  1910. 


si 


Government. — By  eleven  trustees  elected  by  the 
Synod  of  Oklahoma. 


OKLAHOMA  Presbyterian  College  for  Girls  is  a  Junior 
College  for  girls  and  young  women.  The  title  to  the 
property  is  vested  in  Assembly's  Committee  of  Home 
Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States,  governed 
by  a  Board  of  eleven  trustees  chosen  by  the  Synod  of  Oklahoma. 

At  present  it  is  the  sole  high  grade 
institution  for  girls  being  op- 
erated under  denominational  auspices 
within  the  State  of  Oklahoma. 
The  influence  of  this  school  is  already 
felt  throughout  this  section.  Few 
girls  leave  its  halls  without  surrender- 
ing their  hearts  and  lives  to  the 
Savior.  A  number  of  its  teachers  and 
students  have  volunteered  for  service 
in  either  Home  or  Foreign  field.  Stu- 
dents are  drawn  from  a  territory 
largely  destitute  of  religious  advan- 
tages. This  makes  the  institution  a 
most  valuable  evangelizing  agency. 

The  present  attendance  taxes  the  capacity.  Limited  means 
and  heavy  debt  stand  in  the  way  of  accomplishing  greatest  use- 
fulness. 

The  greatest  present  need  is  an  additional  building,  giving 
more  school  room,  and  dormitory  equipment  for  one  hundred 
additional  girls.  No  more  inviting  field  for  the  Christian  phil- 
anthropist is  to  be  found  in  the  South.  It  is  an  ideal  place  for 
endowment  of  a  training  school  for  Christian  workers.  Scholar- 
ship funds  arc  needed  for  partial  support  of  poor  girls.

Presbyterian  College  of  South  Carolina 
Clinton,  South  Carolina 


For  Men. 


Founded  L880. 


rnment.  —By  twenty-four  trustees,  three  elected  by  each 
Presbyteries  in   the  Synod  of  South   Carolina,  and   I 

by  the  Alumni  Association. 


if  the  seven 


THE   Presbyterian  College  of  South  Carolina  is  a  Christian  college  of 
the  liberal  arts  and   natural   sciences,   standing   firmly   on   the  great 
truths  of  evangelical   Christianity.      The  standard   is   recognized   by 
State  Superintendent  of  Education  as  equal  to  that  of  the  besl    :olleg< 
for  men  in  the  State. 

There  are  four  encouraging  points  regarding  the  future  development  of 
the  college.  1.  It  is  well  located.  Clinton 
is  a  progressive  town  in  the  Piedmont 
of  the  State,  with  an  elevation  of  800  feet. 
It  lias  all  modern  improvements,  the  climate 
is  invigorating,  free  from  malaria,  and  the 
general  healthfulness  of  the  place  is  excellent . 
2.  It  has  a  strong  constituency.  According 
to  the  Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly  for 
1913,  there  are  26,706  members  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  in  South  Carolina,  and 
these  Presbyterians  have  about  500  sons  in 
different  colleges.  3.  It  has  ground  for 
future  development.  The  college  owns 
thirty  acres  of  land.,  beautifully  located,  all 
within  the  corporate  limits  of  the  town  of 
Clinton.  4.  The  buildings  are  modern. 
All  except  one  were  erected  in  the  last  ten 
years. 

The  growth  of  the  College  during  the  pasl 
four  years  has  assured  the  Church  that  it 
ha-  a  future.  Three  years  ago  there  were 
85  students,  two  years  ago  L09,  last  year 
133,  and  this  year  155.  The  incorm 
was  $3,763.85  three  years  ago;  this  year  1913-1914  it  will  b 
$10,000.  From  the  increase  in  income  it  will  be  seen  that  the  College  has 
elements  that  will  attract.  It  is  appealing  to  all  classes  of  students  and.  is 
not  dependent  upon  free  scholarship-  for  growth.  The  standard,  equipment, 
and  general  tone  of  the  College  have  well  kept  pace  with  the  increase  in  stu- 
dents and  income. 

1.  We  need  an  additional  income  of  $2,500  a  year  to  meet  running  ex- 
penses.    It  is   -ustomaiv  for  .all  institutions  to  say  they  nee  1  a  larger  ii 

but  a  glance  at  the  financial  statement  of  the  College  will  show  that  it  is  run- 
ning with  an  annual  deficil   of  about   $2,500  a  year.     Thi     defi  :i1    h 
approximately  the  same  for  the  Ias1  four  years. 

2.  $10,000  in  order  tosecurea  new  library  and  sciencehall.    'I  he  l 

now  has  $15,000  it  can  use  for  this  purpose  on  the  condition  that  i1  secures 
not  less  than  $10,000  more.    The  student  body  has  grown,  and  in  order  to    d 
first-class  work  the  College  is  almost  obliged  to  have  this  new  building      I' 
will  be  seventy  by  one  hundred  feet.    Most  of  the  firsl  floor  will  be  use 
library,  and  the  second  floor  for  sci

Rogersville  Synodical  College 

Rogersville,  Tennessee 

For  Women.  Founded  1849. 


Government. — By  sixteen  directors  elected  by  the 
Svnod  of  Tennessee. 


ROGERSVILLE  Synodical  College  for  many  years  has 
rendered  a  most  efficient  service  to  the  homes  of  Eastern 
Tennessee  and  the  South.  It  has  claimed  as  its  President 
some  of  the  leading  educators  produced  by  our  Church.  In  recent 
years,  however,  it  has  been  allowed  to  suffer  greatly  because  of  the 
lack  of  finances. 

In  1912,  the  Synod  appointed  a  special  committee  to  raise 
82,000.  At  the  meeting  of  the  Synod  in  1913,  the  committee 
reported  that  they  had  not  been  able  to  accomplish  this  task. 

The  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  for  1913,  con- 
tained this  statement,  "The  Board  has  made  diligent  effort 
to  secure  someone  to  take  the  Presidency  of  the  institution,  but 
has  been  unable  to  make  suitable  arrangements  and  consequently 
the  college  is  now  closed  with  no  prospect  of  reopening  until 
Synod  shall  take  the  necessary  steps  to  put  the  institution  on  its 
feet.  The  resolution  of  the  Synod  a  year  ago  to  raise  an 
endowment  of  twenty-five  thousand  dollars  for  the  College  has 
not  as  yet  produced  the  desired  results." 

The  value  of  the  property  is  821,500.     The  amount  of  the 
debt  is  about  82,000  and  81,000  is  needed  for  repairs.

Austin  College 
Sherman,  Texas 


For  Men. 


Founded  1849. 


Government. — By  sixteen  trustees  elected  by  the  Synod  of  Texas. 


AUSTIN    College  has  just  completed  a  three-story  Science 
Hall,  and  a  two-story    power  house.      We  already  have 
plans  for  an  administration  building  to  cost  $75,000  and 
a  library  and  auditorium  to  cost  $50,000.      This   last   building 
is  the  gift  of  the  city  of  Sherman,  and  is  to  be  known  as  "Sherman 
Hall."    Our  plant,    when    completed, 
will   be   worth  about.  $50,0000. 

We  need  another  dormitory  to  cost 
$60,000.  We  also  need  an  additional 
$200,000  endowment  so  that  we  may 
increase  our  faculty  and  also  the  sal- 
aries paid,  and  add  other  necessary 
departments. 

This  is  the  oldest  Presbyterian 
college  in  the  West,  founded  by  Dr. 
Daniel  Baker.  He  secured  a  few  large 
and  many  small  gifts  from  the  Pres- 
byterians in  all  the  Southern  States 
and  from  a  large  number  of  Eastern 
States.  Possibly  more  people  from  all 
parts  of  the  nation  have  small  investments  in  Austin  College 
than  in  anv  other  college  in  America.

Daniel  Baker  College

Government. — Bv  thirteen  trustees  eleeted  l>v  the  Svnod  of  Texas. 


T.  P.  Junkin,  LL.  D. 
President 


DANIEL  Baker  College  is  lo- 
cated in  the  geographical  cen- 
ter of  Texas,  in  a  city  of 
10,000  people.  The  climate  is  free 
from  malaria.  Altitude  of  1,500  feet, 
which  is  about  the  same  as  Staunton, 
Va.,  or  Chautauqua,  N.  Y. 

It  is  one  of  the  ten  standard  insti- 
tutions in  the  State  recognized  by  the 
State  Board  of  Examiners  as  of  the 
first  class. 

The  University  of  Texas  and  other 
Southern  institutions  give  full  credit 
for  every  hour  of  college  work  done. 


There  are  four  buildings  with  all 
modern  improvements.  Physical  and  chemical  laboratories. 
Library  of  standard  fiction  and  reference  books  and  all  leading 
magazines  and  periodicals. 

The  student  body  now  is  not  only  more  representative  than 
ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  institution,  but  very  much 
larger — 234  in  all  departments  to  date,  and  from  all  over  the 
state  and  adjoining  states.  Proper  care  of  them  has  taxed  and 
is  taxing  the  present  faculty  to  the  limit  and  we  have  not  class 
room  enough.  We  need  most  sadly,  and  in  order  as  follows :  A 
dormitory  for  boys,  an  administration  building  and  a  chapel  and 
gymnasium  building.  It  is  hardly  possible  for  us  to  ask  for  more 
patronage  without  more  equipment.

Davis  and  Elkins  College 
Elkins,  West  Virginia 

Co-Educational.         Founded   1904. 


Government. — By  eighteen  trustees  elected  by  the  Board  of  Trustei 
candidates  nominated   by   the   Presbyteries  of   Lexington,  Winch 
Kanawha,    Greenbrier   and    Tygarts    Valley,    of    the    Presbyterian 
Church,  U.  S.,  and  by  the  Synod  of  West   Virginia,  U.  S.  A. 


DAVIS  and   Elkins  College  is  the  only  Presbyterian  college  in   Wesl 
Virginia. 
The  college  is  the  outgrowth  of  a  desire  on  the  part  of  representa- 
tives of  Lexington  and  Winchester  Presbyteries  and  of  the  Hon. 
Henry  G.  Davis  and  the  late  Senator  Stephen  B.  Elkins  to  establish  an  in- 
stitution of  high  grade  of  more  or  less  cultural  nature  in  West  Virginia. 

Ground  was  broken  in  1903,  and  with  a 
faculty  of  four  and  about  fifty  students  the 
doors  of  the  college  were  opened  in  Sep- 
tember, 1904.  For  some  years  after  the 
opening  the  trustees  were  unsuccessful  in 
awakening  the  active  interest  of  the  Southern 
Church  in  the  further  development  of  the 
College;  but  in  1908,  the  Synod  of  West  Vir- 
ginia, representing  the  Northern  Church, 
upon  the  invitation  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
joined  in  the  ownership  ami  maintenance 
of  the  College,  and  brought  with  it  a  very 
desirable  patronage,  and  the  stimulus  for  a 
very  pronounced  and  growing  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  College  throughout  the  entire 
Church  in  Wes1  Virginia.  Later  Greenbrier, 
Kanawha  and  Tygarts  Valley  Presbyteries 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  C.  S.,  joined  in 
co-operation.  Now  that  a  Southern  Synod 
is  to  be  erected  in  this  State,  the  opportunity 
seems  brighter  than  ever  before  to  make 
Davis  and  Elkins  College  conspicuously  the 
Presbyterian  College  of  West  Virginia. 
The  plant  consists  of  two  buildings  and  twenty-live  acres  of  land.  The 
irustees  have,  in  the  nature  of  a  bequest  from  ex-Senator  Henry  G.  Davis, 
a  pledge  of  $100,000  at  least.  He  has  promised  in  addition  $50,000,  or  any 
part  thereof,  in  cash,  whenever  the  trustees  will  have  raised  a  like  amount. 
A  campaign  is  now  on  to  meet  this  proposition. 

Our  special  and  urgent  needs  are  greater  liberality  on  the  pari   of  our 
church  people:    First,  to  assist  in  meeting  the  additional  "tier  of  Mr.  Davis, 
thereby  securing  in  cash  $100,000;  <emnd,  to  provide  more  library  space  and  a 
gymnasium  by  the  erection  of  a  building  to  take  can 
third,  to  erect  a  dormitory  especially  provided  for  preparatory  students.

Hampden- Sidney  College 
Hampden  Sidney,  Virginia 

For  Men.  Founded  1770. 


Government.-   By  twenty-seven  trustees  elected  by  Board  from 
list  named  by  the  Synod  of  Virginia. 


HAMPDEN-Sidney  College  is  the  second  oldest    in    the 
South.     It  was  organized  as  an  academy  in  1775;  opened 
for  students  January    1,    1776,   with   Samuel   Stanhope 
Smith,   afterwards   President   of  Princeton,   as   Rector.      It    was 
named  with  striking  appropriateness  for  the  two  English  patriots, 
John  Hampden  and  Algernon  Sidney; 
and  was  chartered  as  a  college  in  1783, 
Patrick    Henry    and    James    Madison 
being    among    its    incorporators    and 
staunch  friends.  Except  for  the  ceno- 
taph on  Chalgrove  field  and  his  statue 
in    heroic    size    in    the   lobby    of    the 
House  of  Commons,  this  college  is  the 
one  public  memorial  of  this  great  man 
and  patriot,   John   Hampden,   and  of 
Sidney  also. 

Hampden-Sidney's  work  in  educa- 
tion has  been  and  is  astonishingly 
great.  It  has  furnished  one  President 
of  the  United  States  (Wm.  Henry 
Harrison),  at  least  nine  Governors  of  States,  a  number  of  Judges, 
members  of  Cabinets  and  of  Congresses,  and  a  distinguished  roll 
of  officers  for  the  five  wars  in  which  the  country  has  been  engaged 
since  1775.  Through  its  alumni  it  has  founded  four  theological 
seminaries,  two  medical  colleges,  eleven  literary  colleges,  and,  in 
addition,  through  Joseph  Carrington  Cabell,  Jefferson's  invaluable 
co-laborer  it  helped  to  found  the  University  of  Virginia.  Today 
its  alumni  fill  five  of  the  ten  prominent  State  offices  in  Virginia,  and 
teach  in  twenty-six  colleges  and  in  more  than  thirty  academies  in 
the  South.  Drawing  its  students  from  the  staunchest  stock  of  the 
two  Virginias,  it  is  sending  them  back  as  leaders  in  every  line  of 
work.

Stonewall  Jackson  College 
Abingdon,  Virginia 

For  Women.  Founded   1869. 


Government. — By  thirty  trustees,  one-half  elected  by  the  Board 
and  one-half  bv  the  Presbytery  of  Abingdon. 


STONEWALL  Jackson  College  is  the  only  Presbyterian  School 
for  girls  in  Southwestern  Virginia,  Southwestern  West 
Virginia,  Eastern  Kentucky,  Eastern  Tennessee,  and 
Western  North  Carolina,  from  which  sections  our  present  patron- 
age has  come.  "One  hundred  years  ago  every  family  in  South- 
western Virginia  was  Presbyterian." 
Within  a  radius  of  thirty  miles,  four 
schools  of  other  denominations  are 
bidding  for  our  girls  (and  getting  some 
of  them).  If  we  do  not  maintain 
"Stonewall,"  what  will  be  the  fact 
100  years  hence? 

The  teaching  is  decidedly  Presby- 
terian. The  Bible  is  memorized  as 
well  as  studied  (a  four  years'  course, 
with  about  200  memory  verses  each 
year). 

The  courses  of  study  offered  are 
full  and  varied,  the  teachers  conse- 
crated as  well  as  competent,  and  the

Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  the  Presbyteries  of 
Central  Mississippi  and  Mississippi. 


BELHAVEN  Collegiate  and  Industrial  Institute  was  founded 
in  1911.  Upon  the  burning  of  Belhaven  College  in  Oc- 
tober, 1910,  Prof.  J.  R.  Preston,  the  owner,  derided  not  to 
rebuild.  Rev.  J.  B.  Hutton.  D.D.,  and  Elders  W.  C.  Wells,  Jr., 
and  J.  R.  Dobyns  and  others  seized  the  opportunity  to  establish 
a  Presbyterian  College  for  girls  at  this 
strategic  point.  A  handsome  tile  roof 
brick  building,  modern  in  every  part, 
with  a  bath  room  between  each  two 
bed  rooms,  was  put  up  during  the 
summer  of  1911  and  the  school  was 
opened  for  business  September  19th 
of  that  year.  R.  V.  Lancaster,  D.  D., 
was  chosen  President.  The  first  ses- 
sion a  number  of  girls  were  turned 
away,  necessitating  enlargement  by 
erection  of  annex  of  same  character  as 
main  building.  Every  brick  in  the 
building  belongs  to  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  There  are  no  stockholders. 
The  college  requires  14  units  for  entrance.  There  is  an  Academic 
Department  that  takes  girls  from  the  Seventh  Grade  up.  There 
is  no  limit  to  our  opportunities,  except  as  our  means  are  limited. 
Self-help  is  offered  to  as  many  girls  as  our  resources  will  permit.

Central  Mississippi  Institute 
French  Camp,  Mississippi 


For  Women. 


Founded  1885. 


Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  Presbytery 
of  Central  Mississippi. 


CENTRAL  Mississippi  Institute  has  had  to  make  a  constant 
and  vigorous  fight  for  its  existence  because  it  has  no  en- 
dowment, and  few  gifts  come  this  way.     Its  course  is  too 
high  for  many  to  graduate,  but  its  alumnae  are  doing  a  very  fine 
work.     For  two  years  local  conditions  have  crippled  it  seriously. 
Boll-weevil  has  created  a  panic  here. 
Our  whole  plant  needs  the  kind  hand 
m  'x-  of  love  to  be  extended.    This  school  is 

—  in    the    truest   sense   Christian   in   its 

teachings.    The  Bible  is  a  text -book — 
some   of   it    is   memorized   daily   and 
recited.      The   students   take   part   in 
t?%\  the    evening    devotions    in    the    par- 

lors. 

The  setting  is  very  fine  for  de- 
veloping Christian  character.  It  would 
be  a  distinct  loss  to  Presbyterianism 
if  we  failed  to  support  adequately  this 
school.  The  country  needs  it  and  the  Church  needs  its  work  if 
it  measures  up  to  its  duty  to  God.

Chamberlain-Hunt  Academy 
Port  Gibson,  Mississippi 

Fob  Boys  a.nd  Young  Men.        Founded  L879. 


Government. — By  nine  trustees  elected  by  the  Synod 
of  Mississippi. 


CHAMBERLAIN-HUNT  Academy  is  doing  strictly  high 
grade  preparatory  school  work.  It  is  one  of  the  few  en- 
dowed preparatory  schools  owned  by  the  Church  in  the 

South.    Industrial  features  have  been  added  so  as  to  provide  wax's 

for  students  of  limited  means  to  secure  an  education.  A  good 
farm,  dairy,  and  manual  training 
shop  enable  several  to  work,  in  part. 
their  way  through  school.  Some  of 
the  endowed  scholarships  go  to  those 
who  are  helping  themselves.  The  aim 
of  the  school  is  to  develop  the  best 
raw  material  available  for  future 
church  leadership.  It  gives  help  to 
no  one  unless  he  works  to  help  himself. 
The  location,  a  mile  from  a  quiet 
little  town,  makes  it  an  ideal  place 
for  such  a  school.  Every  session  it  has 
been  crowded  with  students.  For  the 
past  three  years  it  has  turned  them 
away.      If    the    old    bonded    debt    of 

$28,000  were  out  of  the  way  the  present  endowment  would  be 

adequate  for  the  work  of  the  school. 

The  two  greatest  needs  are,  first,  another  dormitory  with 
rooms  for  hospital  and  library,  to  cost  about  $25,000.  This  will 
give  room  for  40  more  boys  and  add  to  the  income  of  the  school. 
with  little  added  expense.  The  other  pressing  need  is  a  fund  to 
provide  for  the  bonded  debt  mentioned,  of  like  amount.  The 
school  is  doing  pioneer  work  in  industrial  education  by  the  Church 
and  with  a  little  help  has  a  great  field  and  future.

VAX  Rensselaer  Academy,  founded  in  1851,  and  re-organized 
in  1905,  is  especially  adapted  to  the  education  of  the 
boys  and  girls  of  the  farm.  It  is  located  in  the  country 
ten  miles  from  a  town  of  any  size,  yet  but  one  mile  from  railroad 
station.  A  faculty  of  four  teachers  reside  in  the  dormitory  with 
the  pupils.  The  cost  is  very  mod- 
erate, si 70.00  covers  hoard,  tuition 
and  incidentals  lor  the  year  of  eight 
months.  Students  are  able  to  work 
out  at  least  half  of  their  expenses 
if  they  desire.  It  seeks  to  educate 
"back  to  the  farm."  The  Board 
of  Trustees  is  composed  of  four 
ministers  and  four  ruling  elders  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  chosen  by  the 
co-operating  Presbyteries  of  Palmyra 
(South)  and  Kirksville  (North). 

The  needs  of  the  Academy  are  a 
good  workshop,  chemical  laboratory

Albemarle  Normal  and  Industrial  Institute 
Albemarle,  North  Carolina 

For  Women.  Founded   1894. 

Rev.  George  H.  Atkinson,  President. 


Government. — By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  Presbytery 
of  Mecklenburg. 


ALBEMARLE  Normal  and  Industrial  Institute,  established 
by    Miss   Frances   E.    Ufford,   of   New  Jersey,   and    Miss 
Helen  J.   Northrup,   of   Minnesota,  is  under  the  control 
of  a  Board  of  Trustees  elected  by  Mecklenburg  Presbytery. 

The  aim  of  the  Institution  is  to  prepare  young  women  for  the 
actual  duties  of  life — for  teaching  in  our  rural  and  public  schools,  for 
the^duties  of  the  home,  or  for  entrance  to  higher  institutions  of 
learning.  Full  recognition  is  given  to  the  fact  that  this  is,  above  all, 
a  Christian  school,  and  its  object  the  development  of  character 
training  for  service  in  the  extension  of  the  Kingdom  of  God. 
The  Bible  and  Missions  are  taught  in  every  department. 

The  school  is  finely  situated  on  an  eminence  above  the  town 
of  Albemarle,  and  commands  a  view  of  the  town  and  surrounding 
country.  The  health  of  the  pupils  is  carefully  guarded  and  physical 
culture  is  given  to  all. 

Of  the  one  hundred  and  two  boarding  girls  only  twenty 
have  rooms  in  the  school  building,  the  others  are  in  rented  cot- 
tages.    There  is,  therefore,  great  need  for  more  dormitory  room. 

Albemarle  Normal  and  Industrial  Institute  has  5  acres  and 
2  buildings;  property  valued  at  $24,500;    indebtedness.   $5,000; 
138  students;  15  teachers;   1  alumna  in   Mission  work  and  1

ELISE  High  School  stir  - 
give  a  ilrst  class  high  school, 
Christian  training  to  all  who 
enroll  as  pupils,  a1  a  cost  as  low  as

We  strive  to  train  the  whole  man, 
mentally,  physically  and  spiritually. 
The  Bible  is  taught  as  a  text-book

The  special  needs  are:  about  $3,- 
000.00  to  finish  paying  the  debt  of  the

highest  advantages  to  those  who 
wish  to  prepare  for  college  or  for  a 
more  useful  life.  It  is  a  home  school 
in  the  best  sense,  for  a  limited  num- 
ber, under  Christian  management  and 
influence,  where  each  girl  is  cared  for 
in  everything  that  pertains  to  her  life 
and  welfare.  It  is  in  an  exceptionally 
healthful  locality,  free  from  malaria 
and  other  infectious  conditions;  a  place 
to  get  well,  rather  than  to  get  sick. 
A  number  of  scholarships  have  been 
given  by  friends  of  the  school,  to  pay 
insufficient    means,  who  can  secure  them.

Peace  Institute 

Raleigh,  North  Carolina 

For  Women.  Founded  1857. 

Government. — By  twenty-five   trustees,  2  elected  by  the  Synod 

of  North  Carolina,  2  by  each  of  the  eight    Presbyteries  of 

said  Synod,  7  by  the  officers  of  the  First 

Church,  Raleigh. 

PEACE  Institute,  founded  in  1857.  is  the  outgrowth  of  the 
generosity    of    prominent    Presbyterians    throughout    the 
State   of   North   Carolina,    who   recognized   the   strategic 
importance  to  the  Church  of  a  high  grade  school  for  girls  at  the 
State  Capital. 

Due  to  the  crippling  effects  of  the 
Civil  War  the  institution  passed  into 
the  hands  of  a  stock  company,  and 
for  thirty-five  years  (1872-1907),  un- 
der the  wise  guidance  of  those  dis- 
tinguished Presbyterian  educators, 
Drs.  Robert  and  John  B.  Burwell  and 
Dr.  James  Dinwiddie,  it  attained  high 
rank  among  its  sister  institutions  of 
the  South. 

Six  years  ago  when  the  continu- 
ance of  Presbyterian  influence  was 
threatened  the  property  was  bought 
by  a  committee  of  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church,  of  Raleigh,  bonded  for 
the  purchase  price,  and  since  that  time  has  been  successfully  con- 
ducted by  the  committee  in  trust  for  the  Presbyterians  of  the 
State.  So  great  has  been  the  increase  in  value  that,  if  placed  on 
the  market  today,  the  property  would  probably  net  from  seventy- 
five  thousand  dollars  to  a  hundred  thousand  dollars  above  the 
purchase  price. 

The  present  session  opened  with  the  dormitory,  accommo- 
dating one  hundred  pupils,  full  to  capacity  and  a  waiting  list. 
The  school  has  never  asked  nor  received  a  dollar  from  the  Church 
at  large,  but  to  retain  its  present  prestige  and  meet  its  enlarging 
opportunities  it  must  have  in  the  immediate  future  more  dormi- 
tory room,  improved  equipment  and  free  endowment  of  at  least 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars.

FRAZER  Academy  has  a  raison  d'etre.  There  is  a  recog- 
nized need  for  that  preparation  for  a  college  course  which 
will  enable  students  to  pursue  the  course  with  comfort  and 
satisfaction.  The  distaste  for  college  life  is  often  traceable  to- 
lack  of  preparation  for  the  college  curriculum.  It  is  the  purpose 
of  this  institution  to  fit  men  for  thor- 
ough college  work.  Experts  in  the 
different  departments  have  been  se- 
cured and  the  ambition  of  the  man- 
agement is  to  make  a  reputation  for 
thoroughness  in  the  work  of  prepara- 
tion. Parents  may  be  assured  that 
the  confidence  reposed  in  the  institu- 
tion will  not  be  betrayed,  for  we  de- 
pend upon  the  record  made  for  our 
right  to  exist.  If  we  do  not  fill  the 
need  we  shall  have  no  claim  to  ex- 
istence. Our  work  will  be  under  the 
most  scrutinizing  review  of  the  insti- 
tutions of  learning  to  which  our 
graduates  go  for  their  college  course.  That  in  itself  is  a  guarantee 
of  every  effort  being  put  forth  to  make  ours  the  best  school  of  its 
kind  in  the  South.  With  the  co-operation  of  the  public  we  propose 
to  make  Frazer  Academy  the  synonym  of  proficiency  and  thor- 
oughness in  preparatory  work.

Lewisburg  Seminary 
Lewisburg,  West  Virginia 

For  Women.  Founded  L876. 


(  irOVERNMENT. 


-By  twelve  trustees  elected  by  the  Presbytery 
of  Greenbrier. 


IN  1812.  the  Lewisburg  Academy,  for  boys  and  girls,  was 
chartered.  Its  founder  was  the  Rev.  John  McElhenney 
D.  D.,  a  man  of  prominence  in  the  Presbyterian  Church. 
Virgil  A.  Lewis,  in  his  "History  and  Government  of  West  Virginia," 
says,  "This  was  the  most  important  school  in  the  early  history  of 
tlie  State.  From  its  walls  went  forth 
legislators,  great  debaters  and  sci- 
entists, to  become  active  characters  in 
establishing  Western  commonwealths." 
In  1876  this  Academy  was  trans- 
ferred to  a  corporation  and  chartered 
as  Lewisburg  Female  Institute.  The 
grounds  were  added  to  and  a  large 
three-story  brick  building  erected. 
In  1892,  again,  the  stockholders  turned 
over  the  property  to  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  More  ground  was  added  to 
the  campus  and  another  large  four- 
story  building  was  erected. 

In  1901,  these  buildings  were 
burned.  But  the  friends  of  the  school  rallied  to  its  support 
and  raised  the  money  to  build  the  two  larger  and  better 
buildings,  which  constitute  the  present  plant,  worth  $120,000.00. 
Lewisburg  Seminary  aims  to  furnish  to  the  young  women 
of  West  Virginia  and  adjoining  territory  an  opportunity  of  ob- 
taining a  substantial  education  under  carefully  guarded  Christian 
influences.  It  is  the  only  school  in  the  State  belonging  to  a  Protest- 
ant Church  and  devoted  to  the  education  of  women  exclusively; 
the  other  Protestant  schools  and  the  State  schools  are  co-educa- 
tional. 

Our  special  need  is  money  (1)  to  increase  our  library,  (2)  to 
make  certain  additions  to  and  improvements  in  the  buildings, 
(3)  to  equip  a  domestic  science  department,  (4)  to  establish  an 
endowment  fund  for  the  aid  of  poor  but  worth)    young  w

NACOOCHEE  Institute  is  located  in  the  heart  of  the  famous 
Nacoochee  Valley  just  under  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains 
in  White  County.

by  a  capable  Christian  woman.  The  Bible  is  taught  for  one  hour 
each  day.  by  an  accomplished  and  experienced  teacher.  This 
is  one  of  the  happiest  and  most  helpful  hours  of  the  school  day  and 
splendid  results  are  in  constant  evidence.  Regular  preaching 
services  are  maintained  at  four  points.  The  Presbyterian  Church 
here  was  reorganized  in  April.  1913.  At  that  time  the  entire  com- 
munity was  spiritually  refreshed  during  a  series  of  special  services.

Summer  Schools  are  conducted  by  volunteer  teachers  who 
receive  only  bare  expenses  for  their  services  and  work  from  six 
weeks  to  five  months.  About  eighty  children  are  reached  through 
this  department. 

Several  young  girls  are  helping  themselves  through  school  by 
doing  the  dormitory  washing  Every  boarding  pupil  is  required  to 
work  two  hours  each  day. 

Last  year  every  boarding  pupil,  not  already  a  professing  Chris- 
tian, confessed  Christ  and  united  with  the  Church. 

Nacoochee  Institute  is  fulfilling  a  ministry  to  the  Church 
of  Jesus  Christ  at  large  by  gathering  up  neglected  young  people, 
training  them  for  Christian  service  and  sending  them  out  pre- 
pared for  useful  living. 

A  resolution  adopted  by  the  Synod  of  Georgia  at  a  recent 
meeting,  says: 

"Nacoochee  needs  much  larger  and  better  equipment  to 
fulfill  its  mission  as  a  proper  representative  of  the  great  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Georgia." 

Nacoochee  Institute  has  30  acres  of  land  and  eight  buildings, 
a  property  valued  at  $11,928.00.  159  students  in  Central  Schools, 
140  in  Extension  Schools;  7  teachers;  1  alumnus  in  ministry,  and

Government. — By  nine  trustees  elected  by  the   Synod   of

THE  School  of  the  <  )zarks  has  been  founded  by  the  Synod  of 
Missouri  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States. 
The  Primary  object  of  the  founders  is  to  offer  the  best 
intellectual  training  under  the  best  moral  and  Christian  auspices. 
The  hope  is  to  build  up  a  great  school  not  only  through  the  ad- 
vantages gained  by  the  location  in  such  a  healthful  climate,  in  the 
midst  of  such  inspiring  scenes  and  with  such  opportunities  for 
outdoor  recreation,  but  most  of  all,  through  advantages  which  will

be  offered  to  those  of  both  sexes  who  are  deserving,  yet  financially 
unable  to  secure  an  education  above  the  free  school.  Hence,  in 
consideration  of  the  extremely  low  tuition,  the  purpose  is  to  make 
the  school  a  self-sustaining  "family"  by  requiring  all  students 
to  spend  a  portion  of  their  time  in  the  various  duties  assigned 
them  in  the  building  or  on  the  campus  and  farm,  such  as  kitchen, 
dining-room  and  laundry  work,  or  in  securing  fuel  and  provisions, 
and  improving  the  property. 

The  School  of  the  Ozarks  has  160  acres  of  land  and  2  buildings; 
property  valued  at  $29,000;  indebtedness,  $3,500;  150  students; 
7  teachers.  It  requires  of  all  students  five  half-hour  periods  a 
week  in  Bible  study.

mountain  territory.  There  is  no  school  of  like  character  in  all 
this  region.  Its  work  is  not  only  that  of  Christian  Education, 
but  real  pioneer  Home  Mission  work.  We  are  seeking  to  make 
the  school  a  real  evangelistic  agency  and  a  center  for  social  bet- 
terment. Its  class  room  and  dormitory  facilities  have  been  over- 
taxed from  the  beginning.     Last  year  135  were  enrolled  in  the 


Mountain  Mission  Schools.  175 

Primary,  Intermediate  and  High  School  grades.    There  is  perhaps 

no  section  of  our  country  where  there  are  so  many  children  and 
young  people  for  whom  so  little  is  being  (lone  religiously,  socially, 
morally,  and  intellectually.  Out  of  these  people,  strong  and  virile 
in  mind  and  body,  will  come,  with  proper  training,  men  and  women 
to  bless  the  world.  They  are  worthy,  capable  and  responsive; 
but  have  lacked  opportunity.  We  feel  that  money  invested  in 
buildings  and  permanent  equipment  will  yield  a  rich  dividend 
for  years  to  come.  We  are  building  for  eternity,  in  lives  for  whom 
Christ  died. 

The  small  sum  of  $7,000  would  finish  and  furnish  our  boys' 
dormitory,  install  the  heating  system,  and  pay  oft"  all  our  debts. 
We  have  other  needs,  but  these  are  the  most  pressing. 

Glade  Valley  High  School  has  125  acres  and  6  buildings; 
property  valued  at  818,000;  indebtedness,  $2,500;  135  students; 
6  teachers;  1  alumnus  teaching.  It  requires  of  all  advanced 
students  one  and  two  hours  a  week  in  Bible  study.  The  Bible 
is  taught  in  all  grades. 

Lees-McRae  Institute 
Banner  Elk,  Avery  County,  North  Carolina 

Girls'  Department.      Founded  1900. 


Government. — Bv  trustees  elected  by  the  Presbytery  of  Concord. 


IX  the  heart  of  the  mountains  of  Western  North  Carolina, 
four  thousand  feet  above  the  sea  level,  about  90  miles  north  of 
Asheville  and  surrounded  by  mountain  peaks  from  five  to 
six  thousand  feet,  is  a  beautiful  little  village,  at  the  lower  edge  of 
which,  close  to  where  the  turbulent  waters  of  the  Shannehaw  and 
Elk  flow  into  each  other's  embrace,  is  situated  the  Girls'  Dei  .ail- 
ment of  the  Lees-MeRae  Institute,  a  few  facts  concerning  which 
are  given  below. 

This  school  grew  out  of  a  small  Summer  Mission  School 
carried  on  about  seventeen  years  ago  by  Concord  Presbytery. 
In  1899,  the  evangelist  in  charge  gathered  around  an  open  lire 
in  his  own  room  less  than  a  dozen  of  the  most  advanced  pupils 
from  this  Mission  School,  and  for  a  few  months  endeavored  to 
further  stimulate  their  minds  to  higher  ideals  in  lite. 


176  Mountain  Mission  Schools. 

The  following  fall  the  question  of  building  a  high  grade 
boarding  school  was  taken  up  at  a  mid-week  prayer  meeting 
in  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Banner  Elk.  At  this  meeting 
$250  in  lumber  and  cash  were  subscribed.  The  matter  having 
been  thus  started  at  home,  appeals  were  made  through  the  papers, 
by  letters  and  in  person  until  a  twenty-two  room  dormitory  was 
furnished  on  a  small  lot  next  to  the  church. 

The  object  that  the  Institute  has  in  view  is  to  bring  within 
reach  of  as  many  girls  and  boys  as  possible,  especially  those  in 
the  mountains,  the  opportunity  of  a  Christian  education.  To 
obtain  this  end  the  following  policy  is  pursued:  First,  all  the 
common  school  branches  are  thoroughly  taught  by  experienced 
teachers.  Second,  the  Bible  is  made  a  daily  text  book,  and  every 
student  is  expected  to  attend  church  and  Sunday  school;  but  no 
effort  is  made  to  change  any  one's  particular  denominational 
views. 

Third,  every  student  in  the  boarding  hall  is  given  daily  prac- 
tical training  in  all  the  duties  that  pertain  to  good,  economical 
housekeeping. 

Fourth,  there  is  a  class  in  basketry  and  kindred  subjects, 
and  one  also  in  sewing,  all  of  which  are  open  to  every  student  in 
school. 

Fifth,  there  will  be  a  course  in  Hygiene  and  Nursing  for  a 
class  of  the  oldest  girls,  in  connection  with  a  small  hospital  that 
is  now  being  built  close  to  the  school.  The  object  of  this  is  not 
to  send  the  girls  out  as  regularly  trained  nurses,  but  for  their  own 
benefit  in  their  own  homes. 

Whatever  success  this  school  has  attained  we  feel  is  due  to 
the  fact  that  it  is  a  school  of  many  prayers.  It  was  founded  on 
prayer. 

The  class  of  teachers  that  have  been  employed  have  been 
of  the  highest  order.  Not  only  have  they  come  from  refined 
Christian  homes,  but  also  from  some  of  the  best  colleges  in  our 
country.    Their  lives  have  taught  as  vigorously  as  their  lips. 

Every  effort  has  been  made  to  get  the  people  in  the  moun- 
tains to  feel  that  the  school  belongs  to  them  and  that  its  success 
depends  upon  their  efforts.  The  first  subscriptions  in  every  im- 
provement are  always  taken  up  at  home. 

It  has  been  the  policy  of  the  school  to  never  make  a  debt. 
Whenever  we  have  reached  the  point  where  we  could  not  go  forward

Lees-McRae  Institute 

Plumtree,  Avery  County,  North  Carolina 

Boys'  Department.  Founded  1903. 


Government. — Bv  trustees  elected  bv  the  Presbytery  of  Concord. 


THE  Plumtree  village,  rustic  in  name  and  appearance,  is 
hidden  away  in  one  of  the  deep  folds  of  the  Blue  Ridge 
mountains  in  North  Carolina.  A  visitor  once  remarked, 
"  The  wonder  is  how  you  ever  found  this  place.  " 

The  first  school  house  at  Plumtree,  popularly  known  as  the 
"Bluebonnet, "  was  built  by  the  citizens.  They  were  eager  for 
the  school.  Before  benches  could  be  made  or  the  walls  of  the 
house  ceiled,  about  thirty  children  were  there  with  books.  The 
first  desks  were  crude,  with  straight-up  backs.  It  was  the  best 
we  could  do  then. 

Quickly  following  the  completion  of  the  "Bluebonnet"  build- 
ing, the  leaders  of  the  village  met  with  the  manager  of  the  school 
to  plan  a  home  for  boys  who  would  come  from  the  mountains 
around.  Two  of  the  villagers  promised  $500.00  each,  and  a  friend 
from  afar  hearing  of  the  awakening,  sent  $1,000.00.  A  com- 
fortable dormitory  with  twenty-eight  rooms  was  soon  built  and 
crowded  with  boys  as  fast  as  it  was  furnished. 

During  this  year  the  boys  and  the  people  caught  the  spirit 
of  energy  and  self-help.  The  same  desire  came  upon  three  men 
who  live  a  few  miles  farther  from  Plumtree.  These,  though  de- 
pendent upon  their  daily  work  at  $1.00  to  $1.50  for  a  living,  cut 
the  logs,  sawed  them,  and  built  the  house  that  they  might  have  the 
school  which  has  been  since  furnished  them.  One  of  these  stock- 
holders said,  "Let's  call  its  name  Learnmore. "  A  friend  named 
it  "Dawn. " 


Mountain  Mission  Schools.  179 

This  enthusiasm  spread  so  that  a  great  number  of  mission 
schools  were  built  up  around  the  Plumtree  institution.  Five  of 
these  are  in  a  nourishing  condition  today — "Slippery  Hill," 
"Dawn,"  "Buck  Hill,"  "Three  Mile,"  and  the  "Plumtree 
Primary  School.  " 

A  number  of  rooms  are  yet  to  be  furnished  in  the  dormitory. 
$25.00  will  pay  for  the  furnishing  of  one  room.  The  building  is 
yet  to  be  heated  and  lighted.

Maxwell  Home  and  School 
R.  F.  D.,  Franklin,  Macon  County,  North  Carolina 

For  Boys.  Founded  1911. 


Government. — By  trustees  elected  by  the  Home  Mission  Com- 
mittee of  the  Presbvterv  of  Asheville. 


THE  Maxwell  Home  and  School  has  as  its  aim:  First,  to 
save  destitute  boys  from  ignorance  and  vice;  second,  to 
teach  them  how  to  support  themselves.  We  are  reaching 
the  children  and  the  young  people  with  the  Gospel  through  the 
channel  of  Christian  education.  By  giving  a  boy  who  is  large 
enough  to  work  $30  to  $50  for  a  start,  he  can  make  his  own  way 
through  school,  and  to  a  position  of  useful  citizenship. 

A  man  and  his  devoted  wife  who  live  in  the  mountains  of  North 
Carolina,  where  they  were  born  and  reared,  though  not  at  all 
wealthy,  gave  a  splendid  farm  of  500  acres  for  the  purpose  of  es- 
tablishing this  institution  for  homeless  boys.  This  gift  takes  a 
great  part  of  their  property,  which  has  been  accumulated  by  their 
arduous  toil  and  close  economy. 

This  work  is  under  the  care  of  the  Home  Mission  Committee 
of  Asheville  Presbytery.  It  will  be  enlarged  and  made  more 
efficient  as  funds  come  in  for  this  purpose. 

The  Maxwell  Home  and  School,  located  at  R.  F.  D.,  Frank- 
lin, Macon  County,  N.  C,  has  500  acres  and  2  buildings,  valued  at 
$14,000.  The  school  is  in  charge  of  Rev.  C.  B.  Yeargan,  Super- 
intendent, with  3  teachers,  and  47  pupils.  Bible  study  is  required 
of  all  the  students.

Morrison  Industrial  School 
R.  F.  D.,  Franklin,  Macon  County,  North  Carolina 

For  Girls.  Founded  1911. 


Government. — By  trustees  elected  by  the  Home  Mission  Com- 
mittee of  the  Presbytery  of  Asheville. 


MORRISON  Industrial  School  is  located  in  Franklin, 
Macon  County,  N.  C,  at  the  foot  of  the  great  Xanta- 
halah  Mountains.  The  grounds  and  surroundings  are 
ideal  for  school  purposes.  The  buildings  are  situated  in  a  grove 
and  on  a  knoll  overlooking  the  Little  Tennessee  Valley.  These 
buildings  are  new  and  were  designed  especially  for  the  kind  of 
work  that  is  being  done.  They  were  planned  with  a  view  to  con- 
venience, comfort  and  sanitation. 

The  object  of  this  school  is  to  give  worthy  girls  of  limited 
means  the  privileges  of  a  first  class  academic  education.  There 
are  vast  numbers  of  young  people  in  the  mountains  waiting  for 
opportunities  of  this  kind.  The  aim  is  three-fold:  To  train  the 
hands,  the  mind  and  the  heart.  The  domestic  work  is  done  by 
the  girls,  each  one  sharing  in  turn  the  several  household  duties. 
No  servants  are  employed,  thus  making  the  dormitory  a  real 
home.  By  such  methods  the  rates  for  board  are  greatly  reduced 
and  the  girls  are  taught  the  art  of  good  housekeeping.  Teachers 
and  pupils  live  together  as  one  family,  having  the  same  table 
fare,  etc.  And  above  all  else  this  is  a  Christian  home,  where  the 
teachings  of  God's  Word  are  held  up  as  the  standard  for  right 
living. 

Morrison  Industrial  School,  located  at  R.  F.  D.,  Franklin, 
Alacon  County,  X.  C,  was  established  in  1911.  It  has  2  buildings 
valued  at  810,000.  The  school  is  in  charge  of  Miss  Ethel  V. 
Wallace,  Principal,  with  2  teachers  and  60  pupils.  Bible  study  is 
required  of  all  the  students.

Rev.  T.  E.  P.  Woods,  Principal. 


Government. — By  nineteen  trustees  elected  by  Presbytery 
of  King's  Mountain. 


THE  Westminster  School  has  great  educational  advantages. 
(1)   It  has  the    standard  course  of    study  as    prescribed 
and  adopted  by  the  Educational  Associations,  North  and 
South,  for  entrance  to  colleges  and  universities.     (2)  It  has  an 
efficient  faculty  of  college  graduates.      (3)    It   furnishes  careful 
and  honest  instruction. 

It  has  attractive  physical  features.  (1)  Healthful  climate, 
beautiful  location,  surrounded  by  mountains.  (2)  One  mile  and  a

and  all  students  required  to  take  it.  (2)  Family  prayers  for  boys 
in  dining  room  after  breakfast.  (3)  Chapel  for  whole  school  at 
9  a.  m. 

It  is  a  Christian  school  having  an  atmosphere  of  Christian 
refinement,  exerting  a  wholesome  influence  on  the  boys.  Personal 
work  for  the  salvation  of  the  boys  done  by  the  faculty  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

It  has  beneficial  discipline.  (1)  Discipline  is  strict  but  just.

halls  during  the  recitation  periods,  whether  on  recitation  or  not. 

(4)  Sabbath  school  and  Church  attendance  is  required. 

It  is  cheap  in  price,  but  here  the  cheapness  ends;  its  work  is 
thorough  and  of  high  grade,  and  its  position  is  in  the  front  rank 
among  preparatory  schools.

ENTRAL  Academy,  Literary 
Institute  and  School  of  Music 
is  located  just  within  the  east- 
ern range  of  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains, 
about  half  way  between  Stuart,  at  the 
western  terminal  of  the  Danville  and 
Western  Railroad,  and  the  historic 
peak  known  as  "Lover's  Leap,"  and 
not  far  from  the  widely  famed 
Meadows  of  Dan.  It  is  in  the 
healthiest  part  of  Virginia.  Number- 
less bubbling  springs  and  noisy  streams 
abound.  It  is  in  the  very  heart  of  Pat- 
rick County,  the  Fairy  Stone  and  Big 
Apple  Country,  1,700  feet  above  the 
sea.  Cool  in  summer,  warm  in  winter. 

In  the  school  is  established  thorough  courses  of  study  for  all 
grades  of  students,  impressing  the  constant  need  of  personal 
culture,  the  great  importance  of  local  improvement,  magnifying 
love  of  home,  love  of  country,  love  of  God,  purity  and  truth,  and 
to  emphasize  the  true  value  of  lasting  friendship. 

Students  are  received  at  any  time.  401  were  enrolled  in  the 
different  departments  last  school  year.  The  total  expense  charged 
is  for  board  and  books.  All  earnest  boys  and  girls  are  welcomed 
and  given  every  possible  encouragement. 

We  have  tour  candidates  for  the  ministry,  ten  students  are 
in  college,  ten  in  business  positions,  and  fifty-six  arc  school  teachers. 
Board  is  but  80.00  a  month  and  tuition  is  free.  This  gives  every 
one  who  earnest  lv  desires  it  a  chance.

Our  special  needs  are  more  dormitory  room  and  a  larger 
operating  fund.  There  is  opportunity  to  do  great  good  here. 
The  work  ought  to  be  well  backed  with  needed  funds,  and  with  the 
prayers  of  the  Church. 

Central  Academy,  Literary  Institute  and  School  of  Music 
has  70  acres  of  land  and  4  buildings;  property  valued  at  $10,574; 
401  students;  4  teachers;  52  alumni  teaching  and  10  in  business. 
It  requires  of  all  adult  students  three  hours  a  week  in  Bible  study.

RUNDY  Presbyterian  School 
was  established  September  15, 
1909.    The  school  is  the  strong 

right  arm  of  the  Church.  It  stands  for 
the  principles  of  Christianity.  And  its 
purpose  is  to  inculcate  these  principles 
in  the  minds  of  the  boys  and  girls  of 
these  mountains. 

We  have  been  able  to  gather  many  of 
the  very  finest  specimens  and  give  them 
true  polish. 

We  have  no  endowment  and  but 
meager  equipment  compared  with 
what  we  need. 

We  have  a  most  excellent  student 
body,  and  a  fine  corps  of  teachers.  It  is  an  opportunity  to  take 
a  count v  for  Christ  and  the  Church.

"Finally,  Brethren" 


You  have  read  the  story. 

You  know  what  has  been  accomplished. 

You  have  been  given  a  panoramic 
view  of  what  is  being  done,  though  this 
book  can  give  no  conception  of  the  sacri- 
fices and  the  heartaches  which  have  accom- 
panied, and  still  accompany,  the  doing 

By  faith,  in  much  self-denial,  through 
consecrated  toil,  noble  men  and  women 
have  made  possible  your  sense  of  pride  in 
your  Church  as  you  close  this  book. 

Similar  men  and  women  are  still  toiling 
in  a  similar  manner  to  accomplish  yet  more 
for  Christ  and  the  Church. 

Very  much  yet  remains  to  be  done 
by  Presbyterians. 


Will  You  Help  Do  It  ? 


Did  You 

have  some  part 
in  the  work 
of  the  past  ? 

Will  You 

do  your  part 
in  the  work 
of  the  future  ?
